Poll Everywhere

Poll Everywhere

• Teachers can use Poll Everywhere to gather quick informal assessment data during a lesson or presentation--feedback about their lesson, what was learned, etc.
• Multiple choice polls show up instantly as charts with percentages for each response.
• Polls can also use open ended questions in which your audience (students) respond freely
• If a poll question doesn't have to be answered immediately, one can post the poll on a widget embedded in a website.
• A few polls can be grouped together into a brief survey that can be completed via web or smartphone.
• Most K-12 teachers will be able to use in all of their classrooms for FREE, as long as they have 32 students or fewer in each class. There is no limit on the number of polls a teacher does, as long as there are 32 or fewer responses per poll.
• Can automatically censor common profanities or inappropriate words.
• In schools where cell phone use during school is prohibited, teachers can have class in a computer lab where students can respond to polls via computer rather than cell phone.
• Students' identities will not show up on the screen during a poll. Teachers may use multiple polls to gather this information and then generate a report later that pairs student names with their responses, for grading purposes.
• Students can provide anonymous responses to sensitive topics.
• Students can ask questions anonymously that they may be too shy to raise their hand and ask.
• Students can brainstorm an idea anonymously so students will not be scared.
• Participants will never receive spam or text messages from Poll Everywhere.
• More affordable, portable, and customizable than clickers.
